wanted 258 square feet. if peer one said, well, i'll take that, maybe that's ok under a conditional use. so why don't i restate my proposal. >> vice president o'brien: you're doing a great job. >> third time is a charm. >> the rookie, commissioner dwight. do you want to restate it commissioner dwight: i will move that we approve this legislation with the 75,000 square foot cap and the provision that any situation that would cause the consolidation of any of these existing spaces would require conditional use. vice president o'brien: second. >> and just to confirm, nothing permitted over 75,000 square foot, but then consolidation of spaces under that threshold would be conditional use, correct? i have that seconded -- commissioner dooley: may i ask for a clarification, just to be clear, because we had -- there was some discussion going on with the 75-foot threshold, anything over that would be conditional use. so i just -- but that's now how the motion is stated. so is that the intent of your motion? >> bigge

of more than 10,000 square feet to address the roll-up or 5,000 square feet since we're all picking on chase bank tonight. >> we're not picking on chase bank. >> i'm just kidding, kidding. commissioner dooley: can i just ask, everything in there right now is nonconforming, i assume. >> correct. commissioner dooley: so from my understanding then are those businesses currently under threat to be removed? my impression from nonconforming in my area is that it's allowed until a new person comes in and then they have to apply for a c.u. because it's not a conforming space. >> commissioner dooley, i think it's fair to say that it's unclear whether the existing use is permitted. especially the eastern districts and the combination of the formula retail ordinance, it's unclear whether that center can continue to exist and that was the purpose for the special use district legislation was just to ratify what exists there and to allow tenants to move in and out without an increase in the square footage. commissioner dooley:th

or it was caused by their square the credit. people taking. yes to montana saying it gives a gasp blasting not stop this rally and be done earlier today probably closer to the culture the spirit god is probably not yet square is that people can tell these are still lives in some part of a good deal to stick to supply as a protest so. hard but these friends lives to show that we should look closer towards bring tirzah new beginnings everybody here can take moscow russia victories cell culture was there was a. burial site here on the ground. the first of last night during we're going to come out and made an appearance here where there were approximately one hundred also some workers that came to help celebrate his victory he of course may use words like skirt emotional it praising people and saying i told you where we stand where insults met yet again people have come out to show their support to give the lives to waive their person and support like you did to. yeah. ok let's just check in at what's happening at pushkin square it seems to be the

properties of a larger than 25,000 square feet, they pay both the $2 per square foot feet and the jobs and housing linkage program, which is $8 per square foot. this the is an affordable housing fee that is supposed to find new development, fund low- income housing. if the overhead works, under the program, these would be between $2 per square foot and $10.50 per square foot. under the eastern neighborhoods plan, a project would pay $11.40 per square foot. if they had paid the fees that were applicable before eastern neighborhoods can into law, they would have had to pay more. they would have had to pay $20 per square foot. these fees can be paid in five annual installments. i will give you a little summary of what we have seen to date. the department has received 31 applications for legitimization. the majority of those are for the smaller sites. we have received 20 applications and the last couple of months. we can speculate as to why. we have done a lot of outreach and we do not have a good idea how many more folks might apply, but we are skeptical of the numbers the department is d

it's probably it's either a 5,000 square foot limit or a 15,000 square foot limit. if you said trader joe's. >> i think did he say between trader joe's and pier one? >> i think so. >> those are the kinds of -- put a circle around pete's coffee. >> just not being intimate with the space, i don't want to propose something that was later ludicrous because i didn't understand the layout of the place. but what i do want to get at is i do believe we should approve the legal use of the space as it is today. >> absolutely. >> even if we did something ludicrous, all we have done, the ludicrous part is they're subject to a c.u. haven't dispelled them to be able to do it. so i don't think it would be too much to be concerned about. >> plus we're just making a recommendation. a change in the legislation if someonives that -- identifies at it. >> can a take a fifth crack at it, round five? >> commissioner, so i can't move. >> how should i position it at this point? >> i think you got it. >> i think you got it. >> approving as is with no expansion greater 75 or consolidation grea

is nine times as big as your square. >> that's right, your square is nine times as big, or three squared. the line was three times as big; this is three squared. now, that notion of dimension, the square coming in, is our next notion of dimension -- >> ah, two-dimensional square in my -- >> that's right. how many more of my objects is it going to take to fill yours? it's a spatial notion. let's build a cube. >> okay. >> now, here's your big cube and my little cube, and this is a problem that people that make statues run into all the time. how many of mine are going to be taken to put inside of yours? what is it? >> i'm betting it's going to be three cubed. >> that's right! >> because my ruler is three times as large and i'm going in three dimensions now, so it's going to be three to the three, so 27 of your cubes are going to be in mine. >> so we have these 27 cubes filling up that space, and this is a very important thing, the way that objects scale, how it's scaling the sides. if i make my ruler three times as big, it takes 27 times as much. here's a fun one that brings us back to wher

just outside the red square in front of the kremlin. i can actually see the over my shoulder you're looking at the pictures much closer up that was the scene of the big gathering last night where who today indicated came out to greet the masses and i tell you what it was masses do or at least we think you know the authorities saying it looked like it a hundred thousand people was difficult to judge a crowd of people but it was a full room with people over there in front of the do believe that a very good view of it over my shoulder there were people as far as the eye could see would like to push kids go now that gives you an idea of the. jumping around it's difficult to know where we are at the moment. maybe our production gallery can tell us exactly what we're looking at and that's managed times square. but again this is the for. rally the circle of a cult concert going all the young people there as well tonight old only to make it feel exerts to give this supposed to printed much less than we saw last night though you can yes just hav

contain approximately 4500 square feet, children's and -- square garden and a cafe building would be constructed adjacent to the park, which would include a rooftop deck. the existing guard and what would also be widened, adding an additional 2890 square feet of public open space and connecting the park to bomb -- and jackson commons. the shadow is very small. approximately 0.0067% of the theoretical ana billable sunlight. this would occur for 15 minutes in the morning and evening for june and july. the amount of shattuck would not be significant, and the new shadow cast would not adversely affect use of the park. the commissions are being asked to jointly establish a new cumulative shadow limit for the part. the shuttle will not have an impact on the part. the planning commission is being asked to find the shuttle is not adverse and allocate the shudder to the project. staff recommends establishing a new limit of 0.0067% of the theoretical annual available sunlight equal to 4425 square foot hours of net new shadow. this is bounded by washington street on the north, embarcadero on th

area is measured in square centimeter, square meter, something like that, yeah. you know what volume is? cubic meters, size. got a question for you. see the water in here? i'm gonna pull the water in this vessel into this one. and what you're gonna do here you make an estimate. when i pour the water in, it'll come to about halfway. no. it'll come to probably less than halfway. - no. - no. no. it'll probably come to more than halfway. more than halfway. check your neighbors. see what your neighbor be estimating. okay. gang, here we go. appreciably more than halfway, is that not amazing? you know what's going on here, gang? volume. guess what geometrical shape has the minimum area. a sphere, a sphere. that's why the sun and stars are round. that's why the earth is round. it's pulled in to the least surface areas. and a sphere has a very, very small volume compared to its-- i mean a small area-- area. that's-- --compared to its volume. now, this volume and this volume are one and the same. right. it turns out, with little grade school kids they can't see that. there

wave, but it doesn't sound like a square wave. now i've added something at twice the frequency, it kind of looks like a molar of a tooth, but you can see it's a lot closer to a square wave now. and as i keep adding higher and higher frequency sine waves, you can hear that it's getting to sound more and more like a square wave, and as you see, the additive wave form, the sum of all those sines, is looking more and more like a square wave. so i keep going, you can even hear the higher harmonics coming up here. hear "wee-wee-wee," way up high? and the higher you go, the closer and closer it gets to a square wave. and now, if you keep adding a whole bunch of them, it sounds a lot like a square wave. so let me turn that off, because it gets annoying listening to a square wave like that. so that's kind of a good demonstration of how sine waves and cosine waves, when you add them together in a proper way, can approximate a waveform. we're in a very exciting point in the history of electronic music, because there is so much capability. mo

that consists of about 22,837 square feet, same as the not- legitimized area. as the zoning is all little confusing, the rest of the building is not eligible for legitimization, but not because there was no office use of those particular floors. it was because there is a as of right use and it is not a spaceship can legitimize. together, the spaces will add up to about 45,700 square feet and there is no expansion of the building being proposed. the project sponsor is pay a little over five under $30,000 in development fees used to maintain the balance between economic growth, affordable housing and public services in that area. the ground floor and mezzanine pay into two funds, namely the jobs housing linkage and the development feet. the other went pay into the eastern neighborhoods funds feet. very little office space was created this city during the last five years because of the downturn. according to your department's own records, the about of buildings in this category, close to 50 -- it is now over 1 million square feet because so little of this pool has

as long as i'm under 75,000 square feet, i'm going to be ok. we don't want to encourage this to become a two-retailer shopping center. i think it's important that there are a mix of different sized retailers. i'm quite familiar with this place. it's not far from where i live. i know it's providing lots of jobs and it's a very active retail center in actually an area where there is not a lot of retail like this. i think it's a valuable asset to the community. >> again, certainly we would be happy to work with the city attorney to address that because that is certainly not the intention is to have one tenant roll up other spaces. commissioner dwight: ok. president adams: any other commissioner comments? seeing none, do we have public comment on this matter? ok, seeing none, any other comments? commissioner dooley: i do have some comments. i'm kind of wondering why this particular location needs this exemption from c.u.'s? i mean everything has gone in before and, you know, target is going in over on masonic and they don't have this exception. i j

same time when the opposition was protesting at the pushkin square square. fifty thousand people were here to support but didn't put in to congratulate him with a victory and this was not a rally it's all this is more like a celebration proxy with pop star star forming from the state and people expressing their delight over. victory the prime minister himself was here twenty four hours earlier on sunday when all the polling stations closed across the country and he was very emotional too thanking the people for the support and expressing his outmost delight at gaining this overwhelming victory in the very first round of the election making a second round runoff completely impossible so then what about the other candidates in the election and how did they take the outcome. most of them reacted positively and congratulated like even put in of all his victory and in fact they held a meeting with the prime minister which he inspired and they had a long conversation they have all of them except for you know he's a god of the leader of the communist party the seco

i was in the square. talking to you just about everything and to the people milling around you a find at this time on any night of the week now what happened was. as you rightly explained that basically during this opposition rally this a rally for fair elections and some activists addressed the state to say to address the crowd and said we're going to stay here we want you to stay here and remain in the square now we'll stay to the demonstration was there was a few people few hundred people maybe at the most a thousand remained in the fountain in the center of the square you know they were asked by riot police to move along. p.a. system said over loud there were several times when they refused to do. the police . as police moved in what we did see as many people who would actually be and pulled out six hundred fifty were calling in. all dispersed a very few with a just watching what was going to happen as soon as the police arrived a lot of people ran off with the police in circles to get to the stage an

square went very peacefully and people even started to leave the square and heading to their homes when one of the opposition leaders demanded to stay at the square until putin steps down several hundred people followed his call and they refused to leave the square organizing a sitting protest in one of the operational fountains in the center of the square the right police as we understand the people to disperse because the time which the authorities sanctioned for the rally has run out had run out already by that moment the rally was officially over the people refused to leave and the authorities the right police had to take measures and. use the force to remove the people from the square we understand that two hundred fifty people were detained as a result and later when they all of them were released playing a small fine for violating the regulations concerning this particular public rally and they were actually watching scenes from those protests at pushkin square but a lot of people were also happy that wouldn't want they went out onto the streets today. from the. right where i'm s

lots of people know about four square. if you live in a place where it's not as common or you serve a community that is not as tech savvy, how do you get them and their friends to get involved in this so you can use it as a marketing platform? >> i live in a relatively small town in northern california, and people are checking in everywhere. but you're right, j.j. what you'll find in new york city, new york is where four square started. you will find that there are specials everywhere. there are thousands of merchants actively participating on four square. you find less of that in smaller rural areas. however, as a small business owner, you need to know that people are on their mobile devices. the whole digital trend, obviously, is to become more social, local, mobile. four square is the type of resource that's in the sweet spot. >> can i ask you one last thing? one of your tips for people is to encourage your customers to leave photos and tips. how can you encourage? do you reward them for doing that as well? >> there is

the new lot to the west will contain 3300 square feet, 700 square feet less than required by the planning commode. therefore, a variance is required. >> we will give each member of the public three minutes to speak, followed by a three- minute rebuttal by the project sponsor. i would like to inform the members of the public, thank you for your patience, but i was present for the hearing on environmental reviews, so i have heard the testimony given. i want to make you aware that i did fully pay attention to the testimony that has already been given, so please consider that when making earmarks. >> you look so far away. it is interesting. thank you again. it is really important to get acclimated with the environment, specifically the zoning environment. there was a lot of talk about the neighborhood character, but in terms of what we are looking at today, we really have an interesting transition zone to the north of belgave ave. you run into dense zoning, and there is no zoning lighke belgrave until you get far north of fioringeary. there's no question this is a special block. it is bracket

to stage a sit in protest and one of the fountains in the middle of the square that's when the right police came over and said and try to urge the people to leave because the time they had sanction for this rally ran out the rally officially came to the end and the right police searched them to vacate the square the people refused and now it's an hour or so we negotiate the right police had to forcefully remove them from the square we understand that two hundred fifty people were detained there and also some of the opposition figures as well but later all of them were released only paying a little fine for the violation of the of this regulation concerning this particular mass rally that a lot of those happy that putin also went out to the streets today how did that play out. well all of them way he i mean not all of them but fifteen thousand people where he had been his in a square where i'm standing right now and this was not a political rally at all this was more like a celebration of his victory with puff stars before me from the stage with crowds cheering every time certain poli

it is a 10 year lease of 32,000 square feet, $2 per square foot, per month. a decrease over the prior lease rent of $3.40 per foot. the maximum of 5% will be made at a yearly basis. providing up to $150,000 worth of landlord improvements with a rental credit of approximately $216,047 to the city if the commencement date is before march 31, 2012. the rent reflects the fair market value for this property. any questions? supervisor chu: thank you. no questions at this moment. do we have any representatives that wanted to add anything to the presentation? >> good morning, supervisors. i am with the department of public health. in the operations manager that oversees several sites for the community programs. we are in strong support of this. i am trying to negotiate this with -- i know that it took a long time, to try to get it right for this location. it is a key service area for the focus of the mission to serve clients. it is one of our main hubs of service. to move there, we didn't quite a bit of analysis. it would take quite a bit of planning, time, and color
